'Fragments of Life': A Collective Exhibition for the Beirut Art Days 2025
KULTURNEST & ARTISTS OF BEIRUT PRESENT 'FRAGMENTS OF LIFE’
A COLLECTIVE EXHIBITION FOR THE BEIRUT ART DAYS 2025
Fragments of Life is a collective act of artistic reflection amid the everyday challenges of life in Beirut. The exhibition celebrates the power of art to hold together hopes and dreams while reimagining shared futures.
Part of the Beirut Art Days 2025 initiative organised by Agenda Culturel and under the patronage of Lebanon's Ministry of Culture, the exhibition features works by women artists from the Artists of Beirut platform, highlighting their vital role in shaping the city’s evolving cultural identity. Through painting, mixed media, upcycled art, photography, and digital print, each piece offers a fragment, personal and collective, depicting moments of daily life in Beirut.

These responses will be compiled into a hanging zine and later showcased as part of Kulturnest’s hybrid collective exhibition in Fall 2025.
